The Ravensburg Razorbacks (2-1) will host the Saarland Hurricanes (2-1) in this GFL South matchup.
This game could prove to be crucial as there seem to be a number of talented teams vying the post season in the GFL south this season.
The Razorbacks go into this week after winning in dramatic fashion against the Marburg Mercenaries. Ravensburg pulled out the win behind a strong game from running back Lennies Mcferren. The veteran running back scored three touchdowns and had 147 all-purpose yards. Offensive coordinator Augie Stevens brilliantly manipulated his line up inserting Danish quarterback Alexander Kronborg-Bjerre. The move allowed tight end Ryan Smith and fellow American Lennies Mcferren to share the field with the Scandinavian quarterback. The Danish passer went four for four finding Smith in the endzone for a beautiful 41-yard touchdowns. Fans can expect the strong-armed Dane to once again be used along with starter Ryan Deal this week in order to give Saarland’s athletic defense a different look.

Defensively, Jeremy Conley and Stanley Zeregbe provide great pass rush along with lineman Lucas Walk. These three will be gunning for Saarland quarterback Josh Goldin as the pocket passer will look to get the ball out quickly against the fierce Ravensburg pass rush.
The Hurricanes were humbled by the Unicorns last week after winning their first two games convincingly. Quarterback Josh Goldin has been a surprising success for Saarland. The former University of Colorado (NCAA D1) equipment assistant turned walk on back up has found a rhythm in the German Football League, lighting up defenses with former all Pac-12 receiver Victor Wharton. Out of the backfield, Kai Hunter’s elusiveness give the Hurricanes offense another big play dimension. Look for Ravensburg to send the blitz in order to get Goldin on the move.
The Saarland defense is led by former SEC defensive back Chaz Elder. The one time South Carolina Gamecock (NCAA D1) brings athleticism and experience to a defensive that will aim to stop a strong Ravensburg running game. Look for Elder to be matched up with former Green Bay Packers tight end Ryan Smith, making for a great one on one battle to watch. Elder could also make an impact with the ball in his hands as he took a kick return back for a touchdown last week.
This is a crucial game as these teams look to position themselves for the post season down the stretch. In a packed GFL South division that includes the Schwabisch Hall Unicorns, these two teams need every win they can get as the Munich Cowboys and Allgau Comets have also proven themselves to be talented squads as well.
